[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"9. The “50 percent rule” is as follows:
(a) Teachers shall not assign a grade lower than 50 percent if the student’s work shows evidence of progress toward attaining the relevant standards that are being assessed.
(b) Students receiving 50 percent may seek, and teachers shall offer, support and/or intervention to improve the accuracy or quality of the student’s assessment product.
(c) The teacher will assign a zero if –
i. the student does not seek support or does no work on the task/assessment after the teacher offers support and/or intervention, or
ii. the teacher determines the student did not attempt to meet the basic requirements of the task/assessment.
(d) The teacher may assign a zero if the student engaged in academic dishonesty.
(e) Teachers shall document the support and/or intervention they offer the student, which may include, but is not limited to, the following: in- or out-of-class support; reteaching; reassessment when appropriate; communication with student, parent/guardian, or counselor; or, if these steps have not been successful, communication with administration."[/quote]

'(4) A “Z” in the gradebook is used to denote that the student did 
not submit an assignment by the due date but still has an 
opportunity to submit the missing work. Assignments noted 
as “Z” must be submitted by the deadline.
(5) If the student does not turn in the assignment after support 
and intervention, the teacher will change the “Z” to a final 
grade of zero."[/quote]
